In order to solve the technical problem of how to improve the user experience, the embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for generating a three-dimensional particle effect. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for generating a three-dimensional particle effect mainly comprises the following steps S1 to S5. Among which:

In the step S1: receiving a three-dimensional particle resource package.

In this embodiment, the three-dimensional particle resource package may be a prepared three-dimensional particle resource package or a semi-finished product of three-dimensional particles, or a newly created three-dimensional particle. If what is received is the prepared three-dimensional particle resource package, the resource package may be directly edited; If what is received is the semi-finished product or the newly created three-dimensional particle, the resource required for the three-dimensional particle may be continuously received or edited. Typical three-dimensional particle resources are three-dimensional particle stickers, material files, audio files, and the like, which are not specifically limited herein, and any resources that may be used to generate three-dimensional particles may be incorporated into the disclosure.

In the step S2: parsing a configuration file of the three-dimensional particle resource package.

In the embodiment, when the resource package of the three-dimensional particle is received, the system parses configuration files of the three-dimensional particle resource package, wherein the configuration files are files for defining the three-dimensional particle effect, and in the configuration files, attribute parameters of the three-dimensional particle effect are recorded, and the configuration files may include default parameters to generate a default three-dimensional particle effect.

In the step S3: displaying parameter configuration items corresponding to the configuration file on the display apparatus, the parameter configuration items at least comprising a three-dimensional particle system parameter configuration item, a three-dimensional particle emitter parameter configuration item, and a three-dimensional particle affector parameter configuration item.

In this embodiment, parameter configuration items corresponding to the configuration file are displayed on the display apparatus of the terminal device, and in this disclosure, the parameter configuration items at least comprise three-dimensional particle system parameter configuration items; in the configuration items, some basic attributes of the three-dimensional particle system, Typical such as a name of the three-dimensional particle, a material of the three-dimensional particle, the number of the three-dimensional particle, a rendering way of the three-dimensional particle, etc. It should be noted that since the configuration items have default values, not every parameter configuration item needs to be configured, and one or more of them may be selected for configuration. In above parameter configuration items, the name of the three-dimensional particle and the number of the three-dimensional particle are easy to understand and will not be elaborated.

For the material of the three-dimensional particle, the existing materials may be directly received, or new materials may be created and a material parameter configuration may be performed for the custom materials. The parameter of the material comprises a rendering and blending mode, whether to enable depth testing, whether to perform depth writing, and whether to perform eliminating one or more of parameters. The parameter of the material further comprises a reflectivity for the RGB component of the body surface to the color light incident on the surface, specifically comprising reflection degree for different light, different color components of ambient light, diffuse light, specular light, and self-illumination. Specifically, the rendering and blending refers to blending two colors together, specifically in this disclosure, referring to blending the color of a pixel location with the color that will be drawn for achieving a special effect. The rendering and blending mode refers to a method for blending, and in general, the blending method is to calculate the source color and the target color to obtain a mixed color. In practical applications, the result obtained by multiplying the source color by a source factor and the result obtained by multiplying the target color by a target factor are often calculated to obtain the mixed color. For example, the calculation is an addition, then it is assumed that the four components of the source color (referred to as red, green, blue, and alpha values) are (Rs, Gs, Bs, As), and the four components of the target color are (Rd, Gd, Bd, Ad), and it is further assumed that the source factors are (Sr, Sg, Sb, Sa) and the target factors are (Dr, Dg, Db, Da), then the new color generated by blending may be represented as (Rs*Sr+Rd*Dr, Gs*Sg+Gd*Dg, Bs*Sb+Bd*Db, As*Sa+Ad*Da), wherein the alpha value represents transparency, and 0≤alpha≤1. The above blending method is only an example. In practical applications, the blending mode may be defined or selected by oneself. The calculation may be addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, taking the larger of the two, taking the smaller of the two, logical operations (and, or, XOR, etc.). The depth testing refers to setting a depth buffer zone storing a depth information of a pixel corresponding to a color buffer zone storing a color information of a pixel, first comparing a depth value of the corresponding pixel on the surface with a value stored in the depth buffer zone when deciding whether to draw the surface of an object, then discarding the part if the depth value is larger than or equal to the value in the depth buffer zone, and otherwise using the depth value and the color value corresponding to this pixel to update the depth buffer zone and the color buffer zone respectively. This process is referred to as Depth Testing. Before a scene is drawn, the depth buffer zone is cleared when the color buffer zone is cleared; the value of the depth buffer zone is set to 1 when the depth buffer zone is cleared, indicating a maximum depth value with a range of [0, 1], wherein a smaller value means closer to the observer, and a larger value means farther away from the observer. When the depth testing is performed, a comparison function may be further set for the depth testing, and there are some typical functions as follows: DF_ ALWAYS, which means always passing the test, so that the results obtained here are same as those when the depth testing is not enabled, and the depth buffer zone and color buffer zone are always updated with the depth and color values of the current pixel; DF NEVER, which means never passing the test, so that the values of the depth buffer zone and the color buffer zone are remained still, that is, any pixel points may not be drawn on the screen; DF_ LESS, which means passing the test when the current depth value is smaller than the stored depth value; DF_ EQUAL, which means passing the test when the current depth value is equal to the stored depth value; DF LEQUAL, which means passing the test when the current depth value is smaller than or equal to the stored depth value; DF GREATER, which means passing the test when the current depth value is larger than the stored depth value; DF NOTEQUAL, which means passing the test when the current depth value is not equal to the stored depth value; DF GEQUAL, which means passing the test when the current depth value is larger than or equal to the stored depth value. The depth writing is associated with the depth testing, and in general, if the depth testing is enabled and the result of the depth testing is likely to update the value of the depth buffer zone, the depth writing is required to be enabled to update the value of the depth buffer zone. The eliminating means that in a three-dimensional space, although a polygon has two faces, we may not see those polygons on the back, and some polygons are frontal but are obscured by other polygons. Treating invisible polygons and visible polygons equally will undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of our graphical treatment. At this time, unnecessary surfaces may be eliminated. When the eliminating is enabled, the surface required to be eliminated may be set, for example, setting to eliminate the back surface and/or the front surface. In this embodiment, the reflectivity of the material for various lights may be further set, wherein the reflectivity may be set for the color component of each light. For example, for the ambient light having color components of red, yellow and blue, the reflectivity may be set for the red as 0.5, for the yellow as 0.1, and for the blue as 0.2. In this way, when ambient light is configured, the surface of the three-dimensional particle presents a color and gloss that shows the reflective properties of the material for different lights.

The configuring a map parameter of the three-dimensional particle specifically comprises: obtaining a texture of the map; configuring a wrapping mode of the texture. In the present embodiment, first, a texture representing the map is required to be obtained by typically using an importing method to receive the texture of the map; then, a wrapping mode of the texture may be configured, the wrapping mode refers to how to treat the texture when the three-dimensional particle is larger than the texture of the map, wherein the simplest method is REPEAT mode, which repeats the texture of the map until the three-dimensional particle is entirely covered by the texture of the map and is a commonly-used mode, and another mode is CLAMP interception mode, which uses the color at the edge of the texture of the map for covering the part of the three-dimensional particle that cannot be covered by the texture of the map.

The rendering way for three-dimensional particles comprises a quadrilateral rendering way and a trailing rendering way, wherein the quadrilateral rendering way refers to drawing a quadrilateral, wherein a picture is needed when in drawing, and the picture that may be transparent is tiled on the quadrilateral, then the shape ultimately rendered by the particle is determined by the picture. The trailing rendering way is basically the same as the quadrilateral rendering way, but it has a more tailing effect than the quadrilateral rendering way. It is to be understood that the rendering way may comprise other multiple rendering ways, and details are not described herein again.

In the disclosure, the parameter configuration items at least further comprise a three-dimensional particle emitter parameter configuration item, wherein attributes of the three-dimensional particle emitter are configured; the three-dimensional particle emitter is used to define an initial state when the three-dimensional particle is generated, typically such as a type, a position, an orientation of the emitter, whether to enable, or whether the particle follows the movement of a generator; state parameters when the three-dimensional particle is generated comprise a color, an orientation, an emission angle, a transmission frequency, a lifetime, a quality, a velocity, an emission duration, a transmission interval, a length, a width, a height, and the like. Among which, typical types of three-dimensional particle emitter are shown in Table 1 below:

TABLE 1 special parameters type of emitter description to be configured PointEmitter three-dimensional particle coordinates of the specific emitted at a particular point point are generally the coordinates of the position of the emitter BoxEmitter three-dimensional particle length, width, depth of Box emitted in a range of Box CircleEmitter three-dimensional particle radius of the circle emitted on a circumference LineEmitter three-dimensional particle coordinates of start and emitted on a straight line end of the straight line SphereEmitter three-dimensional particle radius of the sphere emitted on the surface of a sphere

The above examples of types of the emitter are not exhaustive, in fact the user may customize various types of the generator, and the user may write the types of the generator himself and apply them to the embodiments of the disclosure.

Through the above-mentioned parameter configuration items related to the emitter, it is possible to configure the state at the time of generating the three-dimensional particle, such as where it is generated, how much, and how long it lasts, a color, a scale, etc. A basic three-dimensional particle effect may already be generated by the above parameter configuration items.

In the disclosure, the parameter configuration items at least further comprise a three-dimensional particle affector parameter configuration item. Through the affector parameter configuration item, three-dimensional particle effects with more special effects may be configured. Specifically, the three-dimensional particle affector parameter configuration item may comprise a type, a position, an orientation of the affector, and parameter items that are required for each different type of affector configuration.
